Course Description

In dogs and cats as well as people, the digestive tract is the largest immune-supporting organ in the body. It is home to the gut microbiome, a unique collection of bacteria and other microorganisms — also called “microbes” — that are crucial for digesting food, utilizing nutrients, and shaping immune health. While we often only give thought to the harmful microbes that can cause illness, it is also important to remember and care for the beneficial microbes that help keep your dog or cat’s GI tract healthy.
